Hello list. I have a few mopeds I'm willing to trade or fix up. If you know where to get any of the parts I need, or if U want one of them, lets talk. -1977 Tomos w/ 600 miles This was given to me after sitting outside 3 years without a spark plug. I sprayed some liquid wrench in there and hammered out the piston with a wooden dowel. Sand papered the cylindar and piston, freed up the rings, put it all back together and bbuurrrrrr zoomed down the street at about 40mph -197? Moto Guzzi moped. 50cc seems to have a second gear Got this puppy running around the block by duct taping a piece of a bic pen to the fuel line and sticking it through a screw hole in the carb. Bought a new carb, needs an oversize, any leads? -1990 Honda Spree 50 Needs back wheel. Bad body damage. -1977 Motobecane Needs new clutch, TLC -1993 Elite 50 needs a seat -1980 Peugeot 102 sp This is my favorite. May I ask the listmembers advice on this one? It goes about 30 or so, but doesn't climb up hills. Is this normal for a moped or what? The carb has some leaky areas. Where the air filter meets the metal, there used to be a jury-rigged gasket. I scraped that all off and bound it together with string. Also, where the float was, the rubber gasket was shit, so I removed that which caused the float to always stick shut. So I cut a mm off the float pin. Seems to work ok. Will spending $75 on a new carb give much of a performance gain? Now, how about the exaust? I've heard something about cleaning it, but it doesn't look like it can be taken apart. Do I just pour some degreaser in there? Thanks all. -Aur
